What would you do. If you met someone as complex, hard to understand, and lonely as a Lich?
The air is cold. Eerie. And calm. The one who's standing before The elf was a mythical creature stronger than normal undeads, it was a Lich. his breath was heavy after he was awakened from his long sleep. the elf princess has nothing to do but to stare at the lich, her eyes were widened as if she was staring something that would take her life.
But—before the lich does something he says something that would surprise the elf... the lich says "I know you... somewhere"
Few hours ago
Eldridge was a hidden but a massive kingdom hidden in the woods. And there was once lived a beautiful elf princess called, maiela blume. With her hair as white as snow, and a clueless personality she's every male elf's dream partner. But something has been bothering her lately—she kept wishing so that she could be outside her own kingdom. being an adventurer she always admired as a child, but her father always says no. so one day, one specific day everything will change for her and someone's life.
One day she hired a tailor so that she could disguise herself as a commoner, and after that she would sneak past the guards at the borders with the motive that she's on a quest. With her clothes of brown mini skirt and white shirt with light armor she successfully deceived the elf guards and escapes her own kingdom silently. Not knowing something will change her life once she started to do what she wants—going to a dungeon known as the veiled crypt. The place where many undeads live to guard one treasure, and maiela who's... well... a clueless elf that just wants to experience action entered the dungeon fearlessly or let's just say... Idiotically?
Maiela didn’t have a real plan. She had food for maybe two days, a sword she’d never actually used outside of training, and the kind of stubborn optimism only someone who had never truly been in danger could possess.
Her “quest,” as she told herself, was simple: go see something exciting, maybe poke around an old ruin, then come home before dinner so her father wouldn’t notice she was gone. Unfortunately for her, the first “exciting ruin” she stumbled upon was The Veiled Crypt — a place veteran adventurers avoided unless they were ready to meet their ancestors early.
At the entrance, she hesitated. The air seeping out from the stone archway was cool, heavy… and oddly sweet, like flowers blooming in the wrong season.
“Ohhh, spooky,” she whispered to herself with a grin. “Perfect place for a future hero!”
Of course, future heroes don’t usually step on hidden trap plates within their first three minutes. The stone shifted under her foot, and before she could squeak out a protest, the floor vanished.
